美国最忙碌的银行劫匪落网

乔希·迪恩报道

When Anthony Hathaway spotted¹ the black SUV with the tinted² windows, he was pretty certain the end was near.

当安东尼·海瑟薇注意到那辆带着防晒膜的黑色SUV时，他很确定一切就要结束了。

The guys blowing leaves across from the KeyBank he'd been casing all afternoon seemed a little fishy³, too

他整个下午都在观察那些在KeyBank银行对面街上扫树叶的家伙，他们看起来也有点可疑，

—because it was February in Seattle and spitting rain.

因为这是2月的西雅图，而且还下着瓢泼大雨。

But that could have been the heroin⁴ talking, so Hathaway wasn't certain he was under surveillance

但那有可能是在交易海洛因，海瑟薇不确定自己是否受到监视，

until he saw the same black SUV pull into a parking lot, turn around, and pass by him again.

直到他看到同款黑色SUV驶入停车场，转了个圈，再次从他身边经过。

"I just had a feeling," he said later. "But for some reason I didn't care."

“我只是有一种感觉，”他后来说。“但出于某种原因，我并不在乎。”

Hathaway drove to a nearby Burgermaster, parked the minivan he'd borrowed from his sister, and injected the last of his heroin.

海瑟薇开车去了附近一家汉堡大师快餐店，把他从妹妹那里借来的小面包车停下来，给自己注射了最后一点海洛因。

He stayed there for an hour, slumped⁵ over the wheel asleep, then woke up and remembered the day's agenda.

他在那里呆了一个小时，瘫倒在方向盘上睡着了，然后醒过来，想起了当天的日程安排。

To make sure he wasn't being tailed, he drove 5 miles north,

为了确保没人盯梢，他向北开了5英里，

and when he saw no more blacked-out SUVs or helicopters or suspicious groundskeeping crews, he headed back to the KeyBank, found a parking spot,

当他看到没有其它黑色SUV、直升机或可疑的地勤人员时，他驾车驶回了KeyBank银行，找到一个停车位，

and walked casually⁶ toward the entrance, like a guy who needed to speak with a loan officer.

然后像一位要和信贷员交谈的人一样，漫不经心地朝门口走去。

He wore khaki pants and a brown jacket with tan stripes and carried an open umbrella, though the rain had mostly stopped.

他穿着条卡其布裤子和一件带着棕褐色条纹的棕色夹克。尽管雨基本上已经停了，但他的伞还是撑开的。

He was unarmed,like always.

他像往常一样，手无寸铁。

athaway slipped on latex gloves, pulled a mask over his face, and entered the bank at 5:25 p.m. with his umbrella still open.

海瑟薇戴上乳胶手套，蒙上面罩，于下午5:25分进入银行，他手里的伞还没合上。

He yelled for everyone to get down, approached the only teller⁷ on duty, and asked for "large bills, fifties and hundreds."

他大声喊着，让大家蹲下，然后走到唯一一名值班的出纳员前面，要求其交出“五十元和百元的大面值钞票。”

Bank clerks are taught to comply with robbers, and this one did as Hathaway requested, handing over $2,310 in mostly loose bills.

银行职员培训时被告知要服从劫匪的命令，这个职员就按照海瑟薇的要求，交出了2310美元，大部分都是零散的钞票。

Hathaway stuffed the cash into his pockets and walked calmly out of the bank, less than a minute after he'd entered.

海瑟薇把现金塞进口袋，在他进入银不到一分钟的时间里，就平静地走了出去。
